1. Who is 'they'?
2. No, 'they' don't.
3. You can't read, so how do you know what the ads 'they' run actually say?
4. Those aren't the types of 'ads' you're even looking at in the first place, so.....

Was just in both past two weekends. Neither downtowns are Chicago or even Milwaukee. But there are pockets of fun in each.

And let's be honest, both cities have identical suburbs that 90% of the board lives in. Few posters would change their lifestyle living in either metro.

Did anyone mention Nebraska?
What a terrible place.

Omaha is seriously underrated. Denied

My wife was born and raised there. She seems to have turned out ok but may be the exception. Stepdaughter thought Wisconsin was
the worst place ever and promptly moved to Nebraska after high school. Another thing I'll never understand about her. I have only been
in the state one time and it was pretty much what I expected, although I was only there for half a day. I have taught myself not to bad mouth
the place since my in-laws all think it is the bees knees.

Omaha has an even more extreme hot/cold temp range than Chicago, so it's got that going for it...

they are bad but i've been to worse.

Decatur is worse than Rock Island or Davenport, mostly because of the stench in the air from the factories.

Omaha gets a lot of love on this board. Rightly so. But we should do a board weekend in Omaha and pay our respects.

Sure has an awful history

Omaha is surprisingly acceptable for steaks and golf. Central Nebraska is getting a lot of microbreweries in small towns where both real estate and labor is cheap.

A lot of good places to eat in Lincoln, NE as well.

And it's hard to find a better atmosphere for college football.

I drive through Omaha once or thrice a year. I’d advise avoiding it during the college World Series. It’s a zoo.

Speaking of zoo's, the Henry Doorly Zoo is a fine place to spend a day.

Evey place I go sort of seems like a shithole. was just in Savannah GA. except for the little cutesy downtown, shithole.

The area around the West Side Market in Cleveland is pretty cool and on the way back up.

We played a soccer game in Omaha and saw none of the city. It was the famous Clarkson College vs Clarke College grudge match. Button 48 moment: I went through 3 state capitols in the same day on that trip. I started in the morning at UW Madison at the future wife's dorm, got on the team van in Dubuque, went through Des Moines, and ended up in Lincoln to play Nebraska Wesleyan the next day.

I’m sure the regional golf courses are lovely. In months not January. It’s an industrial/port town. Lot of poverty. I guess that’s not the part people are talking about.

Oh yeah. Savannah has a paper mill. Nothing stinks worse than a paper mill.
